Rubber risers are tricky. Mine were crooked from the factory. You have to loosen the riser bolts and the bars. Straighten them up and tighten them in a sequence that reduces them from moving around.

When you said "project Darkhorse" I thought you were pulling the crank. I like the bike. Blue is my fav.

The shocks come from the factory for a rider who is about 175 lb. They need to be adjusted for your weight. If you got the coin you can upgrade the rear suspension for around $500-$1300 and the front fork internals for about $300 or less.

I'll give it a shot to adjust it all this weekend. what would the name have to do with pulling the crank? I'm about 250 so I might just try to adjust them first. I know I wanna lower it so I might just drop green on the shotgun shock.

I "like" it too, for someone else. And that's the problem its been modded by someone else.

Darkhorse is one of if not the best crank builder in the country and 07's have a weak crank.

Ahahhaa! That's funny! I obviously meant dark horse as in blacked out. But that's pretty cool thanks for that info!

I'm seriously thinking I'm going to go with the shotgun shock...

I see you have a Volvo. Are you a long hauler owner/opperator?
